Lets see, I have been a PC Gamer for most of my gaming life, but I started out on an Atari 2600, or my Sears branded VCS2600. From there, my dad bought me a PC, along with Starflight and Wizardry and it was amazing. Since then, I have probably bought enough PC components and games to equal the GNP of a small country like Tonga.
